PS: Please read “Are we civilized-I” before you read this.
Those incidents are just samples.
It is like a slap on our culture to hear such things happen around us.
The following are the measures I could think of to prevent abuse of small children and teenage girls. Please add some if you can think of any.
1. School authorities are responsible to check the profile of the people whom they are employing as caretakers and drivers.
Those having criminal background or some police cases in their name should not be considered.
2. A teacher or any other responsible person should escort all the children till the last one is dropped off at his/her home.
3. The entire bus journey should be tracked using some electronic media.
4. Those crooks who are accused of such crimes should be punished severely without mercy. Something out of Sidney Sheldon’s write-ups is my choice J That would create a sense of terror in any body else who thinks of committing such nasty things.
5. Crime branch from police should keep patrolling in every part of the city.
6. Most important of all, Parents should give their wards necessary precautions and educate them how to raise an alarm when they are in trouble.
7. Public should feel responsible to stop such obscene acts happening in their neighborhood or bring to the notice of a cop nearby.
8. Any media – movies or television or videos or books which show pornographic content should be banned completely. This is where youth should take up the responsibility. Only because people still encourage such media, they are being released into public either legally or illegally. Indirectly, people who use this media are also causes for such terrible acts and prostitution!
9. To stop incest, family members should keep an eye on the other members. If they find anything fishy , the concerned should be given immediate counseling. Many people do not come forward with such problems fearing a bad reputation. Such inhibitions should be shed off.
10. Hearing of such cases should be done very quick and the punishment should be apt and severe irrespective of criminal’s caste, creed, gender and background. I always wondered, what is wrong in punishing the accused if he has got some mental problem when he has committed serious crimes? We are sure we don’t want them to happen again! So get rid of the guilty.
11. For God’s sake, ban those TV channels which show more problem than solution. What is the point in watching “HOW” a crime has been committed? We supposed to learn how not to get into such circumstances, aren’t we? Then please educate people how to save themselves from the clutches of sexual abuse. Don’t show how to do sexually assault someone.
12. An interesting point:-
Wear decent and adequate clothing. If you don’t stand for this point, just go to Hyderabad central or any other such place which is said to be visited by so called “POSH” people. Some scholar said, a girl’s beauty is more heart-felt than seen. Stay beautiful if you are, don’t be sensual or revealing.
13. Boozing and Doping:- The ill-effects they cause are pretty-known to everybody. Needless to mention, another monster has crept in India recently- “Living together”. If making love before marriage is acceptable , what is the difference between mankind and animals? Where does the word “civilized human being” stand at this point?
14. Public should treat such criminals with contempt. Humiliation / disgrace wherever he goes should make him realize the severity of the crime.
More points will be added later. A honest opinion either for/against my arguments is always welcome.
